A Texas man who shot at a Border Patrol agent has been sentenced to more than 47 years in federal prison.

A jury found Carl Wayne Wiley, 50, guilty of attempted murder and other charges, Breitbart reports. 

Wiley, who had been wanted on state charges in Texas, was fleeing Border Patrol agents in a vehicle in June 2014. After crashing into a tree, Wiley took off on foot.

As one agent pursued him, Wiley opened fire. He also was accused of shooting at a group of agents.

Wiley eventually dropped his weapon and was arrested.
